I pushed a version of the crypto iov_iter bug fix that
Al Viro wrote, but Linus put in a different copy of the
same fix into his tree.

I then reverted my commit in net-next, and that's why we have a merge
when pulling in Linus's tree.

powerpc: Update all configs using savedefconfig

It looks like it's ~4 years since we updated some of these, so do a bulk
update.

Verified that the before and after generated configs are exactly the
same.

Which begs the question why update them? The answer is that it can be
confusing when the stored defconfig drifts too far from the generated
result.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

1) New offloading infrastructure and example 'rocker' driver for
offloading of switching and routing to hardware.

This work was done by a large group of dedicated individuals, not
limited to: Scott Feldman, Jiri Pirko, Thomas Graf, John Fastabend,
Jamal Hadi Salim, Andy Gospodarek, Florian Fainelli, Roopa Prabhu

2) Start making the networking operate on IOV iterators instead of
modifying iov objects in-situ during transfers. Thanks to Al Viro
and Herbert Xu.

3) A set of new netlink interfaces for the TIPC stack, from Richard
Alpe.

4) Remove unnecessary looping during ipv6 routing lookups, from Martin
KaFai Lau.

5) Add PAUSE frame generation support to gianfar driver, from Matei
Pavaluca.

6) Allow for larger reordering levels in TCP, which are easily
achievable in the real world right now, from Eric Dumazet.

7) Add a variable of napi_schedule that doesn't need to disable cpu
interrupts, from Eric Dumazet.

8) Use a doubly linked list to optimize neigh_parms_release(), from
Nicolas Dichtel.

9) Various enhancements to the kernel BPF verifier, and allow eBPF
programs to actually be attached to sockets. From Alexei
Starovoitov.

10) Support TSO/LSO in sunvnet driver, from David L Stevens.

11) Allow controlling ECN usage via routing metrics, from Florian
Westphal.

12) Remote checksum offload, from Tom Herbert.

13) Add split-header receive, BQL, and xmit_more support to amd-xgbe
driver, from Thomas Lendacky.

14) Add MPLS support to openvswitch, from Simon Horman.

15) Support wildcard tunnel endpoints in ipv6 tunnels, from Steffen
Klassert.

16) Do gro flushes on a per-device basis using a timer, from Eric
Dumazet. This tries to resolve the conflicting goals between the
desired handling of bulk vs. RPC-like traffic.

17) Allow userspace to ask for the CPU upon what a packet was
received/steered, via SO_INCOMING_CPU. From Eric Dumazet.

18) Limit GSO packets to half the current congestion window, from Eric
Dumazet.

19) Add a generic helper so that all drivers set their RSS keys in a
consistent way, from Eric Dumazet.

20) Add xmit_more support to enic driver, from Govindarajulu
Varadarajan.

21) Add VLAN packet scheduler action, from Jiri Pirko.

22) Support configurable RSS hash functions via ethtool, from Eyal
Perry.
